LED industry's Chinese dream

At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, director Zhang Yimou displayed a giant “Chinese dream” to the people of the world through a giant screen made of LEDs. Millions of viewers were amazed by the visual impact of LED, sighing the spirit brought by high technology to people. enjoy.

However, just as people are wondering about the LED, a group of scientific and technical personnel are weaving the "popular dream" of LED. In October 2007, Yangzhou Zhongke Semiconductor Lighting Co., Ltd., a company engaged in LED epitaxial and chip technology development, was founded by the Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Semiconductor. Since LED epitaxy and chip and application technology were not well known in the market at the time, the market trend and market demand of LED were not very clear. Yangzhou Zhongke, which was founded at the beginning, was reluctant to take the responsibility of “expressing China’s light and lighting up the dream of the world”. Starting from the investigation of the market, from the development of product problems, using "unprecedented" unconventional thinking, began the "dream-seeking" journey of "crossing the river by feeling the stones."

In 2008, the company spent more than 10 million yuan to introduce the first MOCVD device in Jiangsu Province that could “grow” LED blue-green light sources. After more than two years of intensive research and development by researchers, the first blue-green light finally shined. Faced with the “blue-green light”, the people of the Chinese Academy of Sciences seemed to see the flashing lights of the other side and saw the expectation of “dream-hunting”. So they worked up their nerves and increased technological research and development and equipment investment. They firmly believed that since they knew where the dream was , we should strive to pursue; as long as we can create a good product, the LED market will be bright. With China Sinoma Group’s timely entry into Yangzhou Zhongke, in the last two years, Yangzhou Zhongke has completed the commissioning of 50 MOCVD equipment and its associated LED chip production lines, all operating at full capacity, in the first half of this year. With prosperous production and sales, the company has grown from being "dream-seeking" and "chasing dreams" to the top three LED production bases in the country.

What exactly is LED's "Chinese Dream"? Wang Baoguo, chairman of Yangzhou Zhongke gave us the answer: "As compared to incandescent lamps, LED lamps have low energy consumption, high stability, and low pollution. The most important thing is that Will not harm the user's eyes, our dream is to let LED into millions of households.” In the conversation, Wang Dong also calculated accounts with us, such as hospitals, large supermarkets and shopping malls, these places are densely distributed lighting, use Higher frequency, the use of 8 months of LED lights can save electricity costs can be recovered, and the life of a LED lamp is often more than five years. He firmly believes: With the continuous development of the LED industry, with the increase in people's awareness of the LED, the price cost will no longer be the main factor affecting the development of LED, consumers will take the initiative to receive more.

For the future of LED, the industry has always been very optimistic. Lee, Director of the Semiconductor Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences once said: “Many years ago, you had a 2G U disk is a very luxurious thing, but With the continuous development of this industry and the decline in prices, U disk has become a daily necessities, and our LED industry will eventually be the same to illuminate every family."

For every dreamer, the dream is ahead, and you must always be ready to embrace your dreams. In terms of technology, Yangzhou Zhongke has been relatively mature; in terms of equipment, their goal is to introduce 200 MOCVD; and in employee training, they are committed to creating a group of LED people who pursue new dreams. At the entrance of each workshop of Yangzhou Zhongke, you will see a notice column that not only records the production status, technical requirements, and operating procedures, but also records the performance of each employee. The excellent employees who will create excellent results will receive Zhang Xie praised employees who made mistakes and they were subject to criticism. When we interview the workshop and the team, we will see their daily self-inspection records, find problems, even if it is a small flaw, have closed-loop processing procedures and the results of rectification, it is precisely such rigorous management, so that The young people in the department are trained in good quality. An executive in charge of production told us: "Should not be short-term protection, protection is short." Only strict management, in order to have high-quality products in order to have a high-quality team.

Not long ago, the 13th Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition, known as the LED industry barometer, ended in Pazhou. Many people in the industry believe that the development of LED blowouts will start in the fourth quarter of this year, and the next will be a boom period of seven to eight years. LED's "Chinese Dream" will come soon, and LDE will enter the "China" of ordinary people. Dreams will be extremely beautiful!
